Orange County Cambodian American Network (OC-CAN)
Mission
To promote social equity within the Cambodian-American Community of Orange County, California by bringing together community leaders, professionals, and students to network, support, and empower one another and to discuss, debate, and educate one another on policy issues that have an impact on the community.
About Us
OC-CAN was formerly known as 4C-OCC (Cambodian Complete Count Committee of Orange County, CA). The Committee started as a campaign effort to engage the Cambodian American community of Orange County in the 2010 Census. The committee consisted of members of 2010 Census Group, The Cambodian Family, Indochinese Muslim Refugee Association of The United States (now Indochinese Islamic Center (ICIC)), Cambodian Student Association at CSUF, Cambodian Awareness Organization at UCI, and community residents and leaders.
As a committee, the group developed a plan to outreach to the Cambodian community through:
- 2010 Census outreach in Orange County
- Cambodian New Year Celebration featuring cultural performances, food, and fun activities for the family
- Video Campaigns
- Kaboom Playground Project at Bishop Manor
After the Census, the group did not want to disband. The group dynamic proved to be a safe space for residents and leaders of the Cambodian community to come together for the common mission of improving our community.
What We Do
As a group, OC-CAN has met on a monthly basis to discuss issues relevant to the Cambodian American community. Together we have developed a plan to improve ourselves and our community.

The Cambodian Family 
Hello,
I like to learn Khmer. Is there any Khmer class in OC?
Hi!
At this moment, there are none at the moment. The Cambodian Family used to have classes in the past but due to a lack of funds, we no longer provide that service. We are looking to bring it back soon so we can keep you posted if you subscribe to us.
